[Homework]2016-07-27&07-30 软银320亿美元收购芯片巨头ARM

Have you ever used a smart phone, a tablet or any smart device? Chances are that if you use a chip design by Armholdings. They are one of the biggest tech companies here in United Kingdom, and about become a Janpanese company, now their Soft// announced their attention to buy this company for more than 32 billion dollars, the stock jump about 43% on the news, that 32 billion dollars could have been weight more, that the pound has been tumbling after brexit referendum. In fact it's down about 27% against the YAN, the CEO of Softbank said he would bought the company with or without the brexit, bit it made they didn't start negotiations until just two weeks ago a couple of weeks after the brexit vote.

The CEO of Softbank make it clear this is his big bet in the internet of thing. Light bulbs, automobiles, are all connected to the internet more and more, and they need chips to do that and he believes Armholdings is the company that going to design these chips. So what it's mean for the UK economy, Armholdings has almost 4000 employees here in great Britain , and Softbank says they committed to keeping those, and actually doubling that number and they said they won't just be janitors, there will be well paying jobs, so maybe there is silver lining for what the market perceived as the big bad brexit.
